Bollywood Actresses Taller than Their On-Screen Partners, Part 1

Our beloved Bollywood beauties are tall, caramel-colored goddesses. And though some of our favorite Bollywood actors are equally good-looking, they’re not as tall. This does not stop them from being paired up with the long-legged beauties of the industry.

Filmmakers try to hide the height differences with tilted camera angles or having the leading ladies wear flats. Another method is positioning heroes on higher flooring than the heroine. Many times, try as filmmakers may, the height discrepancy is still noticeable.

There have been quite a few times a short actor headed for a tall drink of water; here are some favorites:

1. Anushka Sharma is significantly taller than Aamir Khan and although they weren’t a romantic couple in “PK,” Khan’s alien character was in love with Sharma.

2. Govinda and Katrina Kaif were meant to be an awkward looking pair in the film “Partner.” It fits that he is so much shorter than Kaif. In this case, the height difference added to the story and emphasized how mismatched they were in every sense.

3. Shah Rukh Khan may be the most romantic Bollywood hero of all time but at 5 feet 8, he’s not the tallest. Khan is often shorter than his co-stars, like his “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” partner Anushka Sharma who is an inch taller.
